2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automatically acquiescing is selected from the group consisting of by the first device and by the second device, to the one or more conflicts, whereby the determining results in commencing the improved messaging if all of the one or more conflicts are resolved.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the negotiating comprises re-setting one or more of the messaging preferences selected from the group consisting of the first set and the second set.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising enforcing, during the messaging session, the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences resulting from the negotiating.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising returning the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences to default settings after terminating the improved messaging session.

6. A tangible non-transitory computer program product for improved messaging between a first device and a second device, comprising: a computer readable storage device; first instructions to receive, by the first device having a first set of messaging preferences, a second set of messaging preferences from the second device in communication with the first device, wherein the first set and the second set of the messaging preferences comprise optionally configurable and available application capabilities during a session of the improved messaging; second instructions to compare, by the first device, the first set of messaging preferences to the second set of messaging preferences; third instructions to determine, by the first device, whether to commence the improved messaging if one or more conflicts are revealed by the comparing; fourth instructions to receive, by the second device, the first set of messaging preferences from the first device in communication with the second device; fifth instructions to compare, by the second device, the first set of messaging preferences to the second set of messaging preferences; sixth instructions to determine, by the second device, whether to commence the improved messaging if any conflicts are revealed by the comparing by the second device; seventh instructions to resolve the one or more conflicts, wherein the resolving is selected from the group consisting of automatically acquiescing and negotiating through dialogue boxes launched from both the first device and the second device and wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , further comprising seventh instructions to acquiesce, automatically, selected from the group consisting of by the first device and by the second device, to the one or more conflicts, whereby execution of the third and sixth instructions to determine results in commencing the improved messaging if all of the one or more conflicts are resolved; and wherein the seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

8. computer program product of claim 6 , further comprising seventh instructions to negotiate between the first device and the second device in order to resolve the one or more conflicts, whereby execution of the third and sixth instructions to determine results in commencing the improved messaging if all of the one or more conflicts are resolved; and wherein the seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the seventh instructions to negotiate comprises to instructions to re-set one or more of the messaging preferences selected from the group consisting of the first set and the second set.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising eighth instructions to enforce, during the messaging session, the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences resulting from performing the seventh instructions to negotiate; and wherein the eighth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , further comprising eighth instructions to return the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences to default settings after terminating the improved messaging session; and wherein the eighth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising eighth instructions to return the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences to default settings after terminating the improved messaging session; and wherein the eighth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device.

13. A computer-implemented system for improved messaging between a first device and a second device, the method comprising: a processor, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage device; first instructions to receive, by the first device having a first set of messaging preferences, a second set of messaging preferences from the second device in communication with the first device, wherein the first set and the second set of the messaging preferences comprise optionally configurable and available application capabilities during a session of the improved messaging; second instructions to compare, by the first device, the first set of messaging preferences to the second set of messaging preferences; third instructions to determine, by the first device, whether to commence the improved messaging if one or more conflicts are revealed by the comparing; fourth instructions to receive, by the second device, the first set of messaging preferences from the first device in communication with the second device; fifth instructions to compare, by the second device, the first set of messaging preferences to the second set of messaging preferences; sixth instructions to determine, by the second device, whether to commence the improved messaging if any conflicts are revealed by the comparing by the second device; seventh instructions to resolve the one or more conflicts, wherein the resolve is selected from the group consisting to automatically acquiesce and negotiate through dialogue boxes launched from both the first device and the second device; and wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the seventh instructions to automatically acquiesce is selected from the group consisting of by the first device and by the second device, to the one or more conflicts, whereby the determining results in commencing the improved messaging if all of the one or more conflicts are resolved.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the seventh instructions to negotiate comprises to re-set one or more of the messaging preferences selected from the group consisting of the first set and the second set.

16. The system of claim 13 , further comprising eighth program instructions to enforce, during the messaging session, the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences resulting from performing the seventh instructions to negotiate; and wherein the eighth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.

17. The system of claim 13 , further comprising eighth program instructions to return the first set of messaging preferences and the second set of messaging preferences to default settings after terminating the improved messaging session; and wherein the eighth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage device for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
